Hoser 59's Living room work in progress - Blu-ray Forum

Hoser59 · 02-12-2009, 09:39 PM

Finally uploaded some pictures of my living room set up. I live in a rental so there is only so much I can do with hiding wires, but I am still working on it (planning on getting some paintable wire track for the rear channels). My wife bought me the PS3 last spring and everything has slowly been upgrading from there. Next up is the TV. We are looking into a 58 - 65" LCD. My original plans were to ceiling mount a 106" screen to pull pown in front of the TV and mount a 1080p projector in the top corner above the leather chair, but now I'm not sure. We will most likely make that decision this spring. You will also notice I do not have a sub and I don't think that will change until I live somewhere I don't have to share a wall or a ceiling (luckily there is no one below us).

Nice. Where'd you get that leather chair and foot rest? That's pretty much exactly what I have been looking for to complete my living room setup.

Very nicely done for what you have. Definitely have to make the most of it, like I try to do.

Yes, definitely consider trying to separate your back surrounds a bit more if you can. Hope your kitty cat doesn't decide to use one of your Polk rears for a scratching post!

Love that view from your window. I miss the West, with all it's mountain grandeur from time to time.

I found that last spring in Home Depot

Unfortunatley with the big picture window there isn't much room to move anything around. It's not ideal, but it's the best set up I can get away with. The cat hasn't tried anything yet, and he better not!

Wow, I didn't even know Home Depot sold furniture.

It seems to be a seasonal thing, there isn't always furniture there.

Just read your first post and just in case you weren't aware, but except for Sony and Samsung's 55" LED LCDS and Sony's 70" XBR7, I don't think there is much/any LCDs in that size range.

Kai Winters · 02-13-2009, 02:59 AM

Nice system and setup.
You did a good job with what you have to work with.

The one we are looking at in particular is the 65" Sharp. We would also consider a plasma, but from what I've seen we would have problems with light reflecting off the screen because of the windows.
